Made for March, 2008 Aussie/NZ Swap. I really enjoyed this dish. I especially loved the ease of crock pot cooking. I cut the recipe in half. After browning lean ground beef in a large skillet, I add all the other ingredients in the skillet and mixed it well before putting everything in the crock pot. I put more of the long grain rice than the halved recipe called for so I added about 1/4 cup more water. I had no problems with the rice cooking up nice and tender. As stated in your description, I could hardly even see the rice in the dish. I also used petite diced tamotoes with jalapeno peppers to give the dish a little kick. Just before putting everything in the crock pot, I decided to mix about 1/4 cup of ketchup into the mixture. The aroma coming from the crock pot while this was cooking was tantalizing. Very good dish that I will be making again and again. I think I might try making this with shredded chicken for a variation. Thanks for sharing another yummy recipe, BeachGirl.

This was fine but reminded me of cabbage roll filling, which, unlike most people, I don't really enjoy. Maybe if my rice had dissolved, but even after 8 hours on low it was still intact. Soft, but intact. Doctored up with hot sauce it was okay, but just not a favourite. Sorry.

I didn't have any plain cans of diced tomatoes on hand so I used two cans of diced tomatoes with green chilies and omitted the chili pwd. for fear it would be too spicey for the kids. I also didn't have any green onions on hand so I diced yellow onions very fine and used them. It stilled turned out excellent.

Did a double batch for DH's work potluck. So easy to make and has a very good flavor. It was all eaten and I had to e-mail DH the recipe to print out for several of his co-workers.
